Course details

More about this course
  • This free online course explores the building blocks of our political views: freedom, community, place, justice and choice.
  • These words mean different things to different people such radically different things in fact, that individuals, protest movements and entire states often go to war to assert their understanding of, say, freedom over somebody else's.
  • Over five weeks, we will explore how and why words come to mean such different things, across time and space. We will look at how we come to be political, and how political ideology and propaganda pick up on the words, images and symbols we use to express our own convictions and sentiments.
  • The course draws on the academic expertise of The University of Nottingham's
  • , as well as collections showcased in the British Library's 2013 exhibition,
  • .
  • We will examine examples from different periods and contexts in the 20th and 21st centuries, looking at how propaganda is used to promote causes both 'good' and 'bad' in the arenas of public health, identity and belonging, and freedom and responsibility.
  • Throughout the course, you will be able to share your thoughts, beliefs and experiences with other learners, and post images to an online archive, helping to show us what freedom, community or protest might mean to you.
  • In this way, you can join a global conversation, where people discuss politics across national, social and religious dividing lines, helping all of us appreciate where our differences of views originate.
